n to their world. Therefore, he consciously differentiated himself from Rong Shijun, showcasing his magnanimity and treating the empress's existing court members with kindness.After he became the empe..."I previously booked a courtyard at Huayue City for the four of you and even rented a small one in advance. However, three of them couldn't make it due to unexpected family matters, and you booked guest rooms instead. To save some expenses, I canceled the courtyard rental and just transferred it to this lady. The shopkeeper deducted less silver from me as a result."

Winsun explained with a smile.

"What a coincidence to meet like this! It's fate indeed!"

After hearing this, Wang Gongzi immediately bowed in a scholar's courtesy and then gestured to Winsun to introduce the two of them.

Winston looked slightly embarrassed, mainly because he didn't know where this young lady came from.

Liàn Yī has been observing the two for a while, and at this moment suddenly turns the white porcelain teacup in her hand, lightly opening her mouth:

"You can call me Lu Yao. That's my dharma name."

"Ho!"

"Daohao" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Wen Sun's tone was surprised, while Wang Gongzi's tone was puzzled.

"It was I who was presumptuous. I did not know that you were a devotee of the Dao."

Winston immediately bowed in greeting.

"No problem, I'm going to Ziyun Palace to become a disciple."

The ripples spoke, neither salty nor bland.

Two young masters looked at each other, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

"Miss, the plum wine is ready. I've had the helper take it to the carriage. Let's go see somewhere else!"

Luo Huai, having arranged everything properly, returned to urge Lian Yi.

"Excuse me, I won't keep you from your wine tasting. Goodbye!"

Liàn Yī rose, bade farewell to the two young masters, and directly walked away with Luò Huái and Mǐn Mǐn.

Winston watched the three figures disappear, lost in thought. Meanwhile, Young Master Wang scoffed and muttered:

“She’s only in her twenties, a blooming young woman. Why would she want to become a Taoist nun Have you ever heard of Ziyungong”

"I don't know, but I'm curious too. Why would a girl from a good family want to spend the rest of her life in such a cold place"

As Winston spoke, his fingers also rubbed against the jade pendant at his waist.

"Come, let's try this flower wine. It looks pretty good!"

Okay, have a seat!

Neither of them bothered to find another table, instead they sat down at the table where Ripple and the others had just left. They called for a pot of pear flower wine from the shop assistant and began what was called "wine tasting."

Ripples returned to the small courtyard and called Chu Liangchen over, giving him a few instructions, then returned to her room to meditate and cultivate.

Because of the white python incident and the appearance of the evil weapon fragments, Lian Yi felt that her cultivation was insufficient and might affect the completion of the mission. Therefore, along the way, she has been working hard to remove the evil energy from the evil weapon fragments and absorbing the energy in the spiritual marrow.

Two evenings later, Liang Chen came to see Lianyi and quietly reported the progress of the matter.

"Miss, as you instructed, I told Young Master Wen about your background. He was very generous and gave me five taels of silver as a reward. He also inquired about your whereabouts recently. Should I tell him"

Liang Chen finished speaking and took out a silver ingot from his bosom, holding it before Lian Yi.

"The silver is for you, keep it. You can tell him about my whereabouts if you want, let him create a chance encounter if he wishes."

Yes, Miss! I let Xiao Hui follow him, but Xiao Hui hasn't come back yet.

Liang Chen added another sentence.

"Don't let Xiaohui take risks. Winsun is a bit of a problem. When Xiaohui comes back, don't let the little one run around anymore. It's Hua Yue City's Flower Appreciation Festival right now, with all sorts of smells everywhere. He's not safe running around like that."

"Yes, Liang Chen wrote it down."

Chu Liangchen nodded and then stepped back.

From the second day onwards, Huayue City officially entered the Flower Appreciation Festival. Every household would place flowers at their doorsteps to celebrate, and businesses would decorate their shops with vibrant blooms. Every customer entering a store would receive a single fresh flower. Among the crowds walking on the streets, women adorned their hair with flowers, and men were no exception, fully embracing the festive atmosphere of the Flower Appreciation Festival.

At the location of Guessing Flowers and Lantern Riddle, on the first day of her journey, Liàn Yī encountered Wēn Gongzi. The latter correctly guessed a riddle for Liàn Yī, receiving a lotus lantern as a reward. He then gifted it to Liàn Yī.

The following day in the evening, by the river where lanterns were being released, Lian'er's group happened upon Wen Gongzi again. He too had come to release lanterns and make wishes. After releasing his lantern, Lian'er, as a gesture of thanks, invited him to share a late-night meal together.

On the third day, Wen Gongzi directly sent an invitation, saying that several friends had organized a poetry meeting and invited Lian'i to attend. Lian'i did not refuse and went with Minmin and Luoshuang. She received a poem of praise called "Ruogan" specially written for her by Wen Gongzi.

On the fourth day, Lian Ri didn't go out. She cultivated herself at the inn. Liang Chen brought a small note from Wen Sun. The latter said that the flower viewing event was about to end, and he wanted to paint a portrait of Lian Ri. He specially invited her to meet by Qilin Lake.

"Miss, are you coming"

"Of course we're going, you bring Wen Yi and Luo Ying with you."

"Yes!"

In a short while, several people gathered in Lianyi's room. She gave them a few instructions and then told them to act according to the plan.

"Miss, wouldn't this be a bit risky Allow me and Wu Meng to discreetly follow you!"

Wen Lu said unconvincedly.

"No need, you following along will only make things worse and alert them. And this Winslow is just a pawn on the periphery, there are bigger forces at play behind him. This isn't something you can handle, insisting on coming with me will only hinder my progress."

Ripples said softly.

Several people looked at each other, and immediately thought of the chaotic cemetery in Shuangqizhen. They stopped helping right away.

"Miss, we can't help you. What about the master and disciple Wuyou They are still staying in the side room, not spending a single penny. Shouldn't they contribute something"

Luo Ying pondered for a moment and said, although she didn't like this master-apprentice pair, she had to admit that the two of them might be able to help her young mistress.

Let them recuperate in peace! When we get to Ziyungong, we'll need them to introduce us.

Ripple waved goodbye.

The next day, Lian Yi went to the appointment alone. Wen Sun was still very surprised:

"Why are you alone, Miss You haven't brought any maidservants or attendants" Let me know if you have anything else you need translated!

"I don't want to let them disturb Master while he is painting."

Ripple smiled faintly.

"That Wen Mo is rather quick, it won't take too long. Don't worry about your household servants at home."

She is very understanding.

Okay, thank you!

Winsun immediately began to paint with bold strokes. An hour later, Lianyi was leaning her head against her hand, her eyes half-closed as if she had fallen asleep.

"Miss Lu Yao! Miss Lu Yao!"

Winsun called out several times, but received no response. He then made a signal to someone in the distance. Immediately, a group of people approached, dressed as maidservants and attendants, and helped Lianyi into a soft palanquin.

Winson then put on an act and said to his servants:

"Miss Lu Yao seemed to be drowsy. It's all my fault, I spent too long drawing. This lakeside is damp. When we get back, please make a ginger soup for Miss Lu to warm up."

"Okay."

The servants, a little impatient, waved their hands and quickly disappeared with the soft palanquin along the shore of Qianli Lake.

People around were used to it. In this period of time, many talented men and beautiful women came to the Thousand Miles Lake to write poems and paint pictures. It was common for servants to come to pick up their young mistress like this.

Winston gazed after the departing group, a determined smile playing on his lips.ator's mind and spirit are completely lost, they become a monster that only knows how to kill. They continuously create slaughter, absorb souls, and strengthen themselves until the entire cultivation...
